Get the good stuff at a discount.

Three of Tulsa's leading performing arts organizations are offering special discounts this month on season tickets for their 2011-2012 seasons.

Tulsa Opera will waive the usual $10 handling fee on new season subscriptions purchased during July, on top of the up to 40 percent savings over purchasing individual tickets.

The offer is good only for new season subscribers -- people who have not bought season tickets in the past two years.

One may purchase either a full season ticket for the company's planned three productions, or a "Duet Season," for any two productions.

The opera's upcoming season features two of the most popular operas ever written -- Rossini's sparkling comedy "The Barber of Seville," and Puccini's tragic "Madama Butterfly" -- along with the Oklahoma premiere of "Dead Man Walking," Jake Heggie's opera based on the Academy Award-winning movie about a criminal on death row and the nun who endeavors to save his life.

Tulsa Opera season tickets range from $90 to $275 for the full season, $60 to $183 for the "Duet Season." For more information, call 918-587-4811.

Tulsa Ballet is offering a special deal through Aug. 5 -- four shows for as little as $68.

Choose from four of the six productions Tulsa Ballet will present in 2011-2012 -- from its world premiere of Edwaard Liang's "Romeo and Juliet" to an evening celebrating the company's Ballets Russes heritage, from the holiday classic "The Nutcracker" to the trio of world premiere ballets that will make up "Creations in Studio K."

Prices range from $68 for seats around the perimeter of the Tulsa PAC's orchestra level to $221 for the "Silver Circle" seating in the mezzanine level.

Season tickets for the full Tulsa Ballet season are also available. For more information, call 918-749-6407, or visit the Tulsa Ballet ticket office, 1212 E. 45th St.

American Theatre Company is offering the most drastic discounts -- 50 percent off its regular season ticket prices if you buy in July.

This year the company has plans to present six shows -- although two of the announced productions are different versions of the same story. In the summer of 2012, the company will present "The Comedy of Errors" by Shakespeare on the lawn of the Philbrook Museum of Art, after earlier in the season staging "The Bomb-itty of Errors," a hip-hop version of this comedy.

Also scheduled are the musical "The Full Monty," Jane Martin's drama "Good Boys," presented in collaboration with Tulsa Community College; "Lombardi," a play about the famed football coach; and the holiday tradition "A Christmas Carol."

Regular season ticket prices are $135-$167, but all six shows can be had for as little as $67. Call 918-747-9494 for more information.
